I'm sorry you've had such problems. You do not, in fact, need to be running Ubuntu in order to report a bug against Gnome or its documentation. While Ubuntu uses Gnome as its default desktop environment, Gnome is used by many other vendors, and is in no way tied to Ubuntu. To file a bug against Gnome, please use Gnome's Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ > When I start, I get a command prompt ($).

This is somewhat outside the scope of what we would provide in user documentation. Most distributions these days will boot directly to a graphical login screen. If your system does not do so, either it's a problem with your distribution which you should take up with them, or you've chosen to use a distribution that assumes its users are very knowledgeable. You can use the 'startx' command to start an X session from the command line. Whether this will load Gnome depends on whether your distribution has set things up correctly for Gnome. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
